The English Government seems TO have de-
tennlncd On a vigorous policy Of coercion and
eviction in Ireland. A gunboat has been dis
patched to assist in the work. Bloodshed is
threatened. Civilization may almost be de-
olared failure when regarded in the light Of
England's treatment Of Ireland. This is case
where the Government lives but does not learn.
The Assembly committee which Investigated
the recent strike has presented majority re-
port. moderate and sensible in tone. The abil
ity of the Legislature to do much toward pre-
venting future strikes Of that kind is rather
limited, but the recommendations of the COM
mitteo are entitled to careful consideration.
The absolute failure of the strike itself, largely
through the attempt TO extend it TO branches
of trade In which the workmen had no griev-
ances, must prove the most cfiectual remedy
in preventing future mistakes of that kind.
tsBOss 4" Nc Laughlin's representatives in AL
bany arc anxious to divert public attention from
the forthcoming investigation into the "Boss's &"
city government. 1t is rather stale trick for
them to set up the cry of stop thief for such
O purpose. Mr.. McCann's feeble effort in that
direction yesterday only provoked derision. Al
most every day some new fact is developed
showing the rottenness Of the "BOss's" gov
crnment. Yesterday it was asccrtained from
the civil list of Brooklyn that $50 places have
been created under Mayor Whitney for the
"Boss's" hungry followers. The Mayors son
and nephew occupy two of these places, and
various relatives of Mclaughlin and of the Dem
Ocratlc heutenants have been similarly pro-
vided for In one department there are 12G
now employees who get $63, 932 in salaries.
Such are the fruits of Boss rule
The Democrats in the Legislature arrayed
themselves yesterday solidly against the high
License bill. That Vas to be expected as the
liQuor-dcalers control their cotton, and they OK
get to profit in partisan way from the gains
which their third party allies hope to make by
failure Of the Republican Legislature to pas
the bill. But it is difficult to account for the
half dozen Republicans who voted on the side
Of the liquor-dealcrs. 1t will be fortunate for
them if they take heed to the voice of New
York as expressed last night in Chickering
Hall. which was crowded with representative
c.tizcns Tho speeches were strong and TO the
point. 1t is pity that MIR Hewitt could not
fee his way to approve Of high license it is an
equal pity that he should advocate opening Of
llquor-shops on Sunday. But he promised
strictly TO enforce the Law, and that is what tho
public wants of him.
The majority report of the Railroad Commits
uon in regard to tho heating apd lighting of
cars on passenger trains is hardly satisfactory
document. The public want the dangerous
cxr-stove abolished. The Commission says
that tho stove ought to DO abolished, but it Is
not prepared 10 say how this is to 10 done. h
Ikinks that stove furnace might be construo.-
u under the car that would b safe. Eut ]

GTGN9 or SPRING,

Enowdrops in bloom on the sunny side OF city
walls and the bronze hood Of the skunk cabbage
already pushing through the muck Of Long
Island marshes seem to show that the season Is
on schedule almanac time. Acute observers have
noted how widely these harbingers Of spring vary
in the date Of their appearing. 1horeau found
this same skunk cabbage on the ed Of March in
1850, while few years nfterward ID failed to
show itself until the 9Th of April, or thirty-six
days later The date of tho bluebirds arrival at
Concord varied nearly as much while the first
note of the woodfrog was once heard In the mid
die Of March and again not until O good month
later. There is not so much poetry in the Report
of tho New-YorlS Agricultural Experiment Station
for 1886 as In Thoreau's "Early Spring In Massa-
chusetts,D but in the frst-named pamphlet, re-
Gently issued, 1t is written that in 1888 the first
cherry bloom opened on May II, while in 1886
the same variety bloomcd on April 90. The first
bloom of the Harvest apple appeared on May 23d
and May @. Tho first ripe Wilson strawberry
was picked June 20 and juno o, and the first
edible pens were gathered on June 20 and june
II respectively. These same peas required four
days longer to reach edible maturity from the
time of vegetation In 1885 than they did In
1886, and yeb DIR. Sturtevant writes that the sums
of tho mean daily temperatures for the two
periods were very nearly equal.
arc 10 be considered before deductions con be
mndc from such Investigations The temperature
OF the soil varies in quite different degree from
that Of tho air. This In turn depends much upon
its color and porosty and the amount Of water 1t
holds. The intensity of sunlight has an effect Of
its own, and many other influences unite to
hasten or retard the growth Of vegetation. which
is the planest visible sign Of the years progress.
But since plants supposed to receive 95 per
cent of their substance from the air and only
per cent from the soil, such meteorological In
quircs have n profound practical interest. When
the New-YorlS station shall have kept these records
as long the fertilizng tests have been con-
Quoted at Rothamsted we shall perhaps be able
to formulate some important laws from the mass
Of data collected. ID may be added that this Sta
ton report contains much pleasant reading for
others than the lers of the soil for whose benefit
il was especially prepared.

trouble These mountaineers are all
more or less related, and new blood Is
seldom introduced into the race. They
merry first cousins, whose parents were
first cousins, and so 1t has gone for gen
erations past. They live on pork and
buckwheat cakes, sleep in slab novels, and
withal are dreadfulIy immoral. 1t is
strange that there arc not more idiots
among the mountaineers, bat there are
enough. There is a little settlement only
a few miles from here, l don't know just
where it is located. but salesman told
me last year that there is only one strain
of blood in the whole place, aud that
everybody has weak blue eyes and faxen
hair. They are all yellow and freckled,
thin and weak. BE says that there about
half dozen idiots IN the hamlet, and
thai the people are the most wretched
human beings he ever saw. You ought
to hunt them up"
"Do you know anything about the
swarthy natives about the lake?"
Not mu h, except that they are all
closely related, and have Indian blood in
them. Some of these families have
existed he-e for nearly three hundred
years, and get their names from old pro-
prietcrs of the land. / don't want 70 be
personal, but 1 know one family here,
and big one too, that gets its name
from a family for whom its ancestors

Influencing q Judge

boy hsd wandered off to a common near
London, and there With another lad,
mounted an old horse grazing there, and
taken ride, only to be arrested for
horse stealing. The lsundress had en-
gagged counsel for her son, but was in
great doubt as to the issue of the case.
When the matter was suggested to Mil
